Navigators The Islander
Chorus
I'm a Newfoundlander born and bred and I'll be one till I
die. I'm proud to be an Islander and here's the reason
why. I'm free as the wind and the waves that wash the
sand. There's no place I would rather be than here in
Newfoundland.
I spent some time in New York state I nearly lost my
mind. The city life's too fast for me nobody had the
time. Cement and steel and flashing lights was all that I
could see. It may be good for New York state but it's no
damn good for me.
Chorus
In Montreal the Frenchmen say that they own Labrador.
Including Indian Harbor where my father fished before.
And if they want to fight for her then I'll surely make a
stand. And they'll regret the day they tried to take our
Newfoundland.
Chorus
Now that the oil is on our shore we better take the time,
to develop it more carefully or else you're going to
find, what could have been the answer to our poor
economy, has changed our way of living and destroyed our
fishery.
